I'm usually concerned for this time of year

Aside from all the dope smokers and hippies out there who are making this day all their own…

Today is also Hitler's birthday. Around this time of year in the past, a lot of people have gone completely batshit crazy and have gone out their way to shoot shit up. Especially schools.

It's something about mid to late April that just makes people crack up. I have no idea what it is.

My hope is that we won't see a repeat of this kind of thing this year and thank God we haven't had a massacre yet.

But the month is not yet over.

So to all of you and yours out there, I bid that you all will take care and stay frosty.

'Cause I want you to come on back safe and sound, ya' hear?

monsters out of the dead land?

Sort of like springtime for Zombies, I guess.

Just smell the lilacs.

Don't accept a vision of fear in a handful of dust.

Is April a Cursed Month?


If asked to list the top violent tragedies among current generations, the shootings at Columbine High School, the Virginia Tech massacre, and the Oklahoma City Bombings would no doubt be near the top of the list. Most Americans within the Baby Boomer and Generation X age range would probably also list the seizure of the Branch Davidian Cult compound in Waco, Texas, and perhaps the bombing of Marine Barracks in Beirut.

Is it surprising that all of these, and other similar disasters, occurred from April 16 to April 20?
